Now that Yu Qianqian has made all the necessary preparations, she followed Mu Feiyu's people out of the secret room. Along the way, she ignored everything around her, her face was calm, but her thoughts had already flown away with the gentle breeze that swept over her.
Mu Feiyu has coveted the Mu family's throne for many years. Over the years, anyone who has hindered her from seizing power has never escaped death. Her father was like that, and so was the Duke of Zhenguo. But in the current situation, Mu Beichen has clearly become a major concern for her. However, this time, even if she uses all her resources, she will never allow such a thing to happen again.
As they approached the entrance to Yuxuan Pavilion, the guards all withdrew automatically. Yu Qianqian looked ahead and let out a long sigh. She had only knocked twice when a soft creak sounded, and the two doors were immediately pushed open by the servants inside. What came into view was a room with silver screens and golden walls, a dazzling array of treasures.
At this moment, Mu Feiyu was reclining on a couch, leisurely gazing at the scenery outside the window. Even as Yu Qianqian gradually approached, she still didn't see any reaction from him, which made her a little irritated. She quickly called out, "Greetings, Imperial Uncle." She raised her eyes expressionlessly and looked over, only to see Mu Feiyu turn his gaze towards her after a long while.
Mu Feiyu then stood up and leaned closer, a wicked smile playing on her lips: "Hmm... I didn't expect you to be so pleasing to the eye when you dress up casually. As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty, and what man in this world doesn't like a beautiful woman?"
"Mu Feiyu!" Yu Qianqian gave him an unusually sharp look as he looked at her with a beaming smile, and said coldly, "Please remember, there will never be any connection between us other than a transaction!"
The moment she finished speaking, Mu Feiyu smiled coldly, her eyes flashing with a complex and ever-changing light, but her face remained expressionless.
"Heh... Don't worry, I wouldn't bother with a woman who's been played by Mu Beichen." He glanced disdainfully at Yu Qianqian, hesitated for a moment, and then said righteously, "That incompetent emperor Mu Qiye is a tyrant who only knows how to abuse his power by relying on the late emperor's resources. All the ministers resent him. Now, the Northern You Kingdom is facing imminent collapse. As the emperor's uncle, I have the right and obligation to supervise him. Since he is repeatedly unruly, I have no choice but to reluctantly take his place."
"The reason I spared your life until now is very simple: I need someone with the same ideals to walk alongside me, and you are the best candidate in my mind. Yu Qianqian, do you want to consider it?" Mu Feiyu gazed at the lush flowers and plants outside, speaking slowly and deliberately, as if talking to herself.
Mu Feiyu finally revealed his wolfish ambition; it was quite remarkable that he had endured it for so long. Yu Qianqian paused slightly, then glanced back without revealing her thoughts; she understood his intentions perfectly.
Although Mu Qiye is indeed incompetent, nowadays, almost all the ministers in the court have become Mu Feiyu's henchmen. His every move is under Mu Feiyu's close surveillance, so how could he dare to act recklessly?
This Mu Feiyu is indeed a seasoned veteran of the officialdom, able to make his reasons for rebellion sound so plausible. No wonder he can treat Mu Feiyu as a puppet and act arbitrarily in the court and among the people.
